I usually glace at the Sunset Tree when I go out, and today, it had a new surprise for me.

Talk about camouflage: at first, all you see is tree, right? The only reason I spotted this handsome guy is that he was silhouetted against the sky when I walked onto my side porch.These Texas Spiny Lizards are plentiful right now and maybe too large (nearly a foot long) even for our resident road runner to catch and eat. Or maybe not--and that's why they're up in the trees watching the ground.

About Me

After writing for ad agencies in NYC and Atlanta, I moved to Texas Hill Country in 2005. Then In 2006, I trained with Kat Albrecht on K9 Search & Rescue techniques and the science of lost pet behavior/ recovery techniques. I specialize in lost cats. It's very gratifying to reunite missing felines with their owners. Also volunteer at the local no-kill animal shelter (Austin Pets Alive) where I work as their Cat Behavior Specialist.
